Default Body Solder?

I want to learn how to do lead work and all I have found is a DVD from Eastwood. Does anyone know of any books that cover this? I'm more of a reader then a video watcher.

Also, what about lead free body solder, is it any good or should I stick with the regular solder?

Thanks, Eric

Thanks Jack, that first link answers quite a few of my questions. Thanks for finding out about lead vs. lead free for me. I found that same book on Amazon this morning. I'm going to pick up a copy and give this a shot. I have a few junk body panels around that I can try it out on.

Thanks, Eric

lead is fun to do and last forever always wear a respirator no matter if its lead free you still dont wanna breathe in that stuff.lead is like hot playdo you can make it do anything always put on more and grind and sand it down.

I want lead for exactly that reason. I plan to have my truck for a very long time and would rather not have to redo any of the body work.
